Chapter 95: Aren’t you joining?
"By the Gods! Why are there so many Pseudo Canzers?!"
"I thought we could leave if we went back to the Colosseum! There's even more monsters there!"
"Why is this happening?!"
They had no answer. None of them had ever experienced this kind of disaster before. The only one who went through a different but similar situation was Atlan. He also experienced an anomaly in his very first mission.
Sola didn't know much, but she offered her guess. "The Pocket Remedium itself is malfunctioning. It spawned more Pseudo Canzers than what was programmed."
"Can a Pocket Remedium break like that? I've never heard of any situation where thousands upon thousands of Pseudo Canzers are spawned out of nowhere with no way to freeze them."
The Olympian woman went silent. Just because she knew how they spawned, didn't mean that she knew why. She was just as clueless as the rest of them.
This time, Yasmine was the one to speak up. She could see that everyone was starting to lose hope, which would only detract from their ability to fight. Experience more tales on m v|l e'-NovelBin.net
"Either way, we have to work together to kill them all if we want to get to the portal."
This gave them a bit of hope now that they had a clear objective to follow. If they worked together and fought their way towards the Colosseum, then they could have the chance to go back to the portal. It wouldn't be easy, but it was still better than to stay here and do nothing.
"Isn't it better to stay here and wait for reinforcements?" Sola asked. "The concentration of Pseudo Canzers is larger there. We might not even make it inside the Colosseum before thousands of them swarm us. Surely your HeadQuarters have already noticed that something is wrong."
The Olympians trusted Sola, so they were more inclined to follow her suggestion. Meanwhile, the Genesians had no confidence that reinforcements would come before they exhausted themselves fighting an endless horde of monsters.
After all, they heard that the reinforcements didn't come until hours later when Atlan was in a similar situation. He had to be the one to rescue his teammates himself.
But before everybody could argue on what to do, they all suddenly felt the ground tremble and shake. They knew what this meant.
They all looked back in horror as the horde of Horse Canzers finally caught up to them. Their hooves chaotically stomped on the ground with such ferocity and intensity that they were sure that they would lose 90% of their SoulTime if they got trampled by them.
"Draconic Inferno of Swords!" Yasmine shouted. She didn't waste any more time as she jumped up the steps in the air until she was more than 15 feet in the air.
And just like before, she somersaulted forward, creating momentum and time for her dragon to develop in her sword. Her swing turned into two full turns, giving enough time for her dragon to grow longer and burn more intensely.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, she launched her dragon towards the horde.
GROOAAAA, the dragon screamed.
It slithered through the air and finally hit the first line of Pseudo Canzers. The unlucky Horse monster suddenly burst into flames upon contact, turning even its bones into a liquid.
But the flaming dragon wasn't satisfied with just one Canzer. It continued to pierce through the horde until it killed 10 Canzers that stood in its way.
It was an impressive feat for her to kill 10 of them in just one attack. If this was any other situation, the rest of them would cheer and congratulate her for her strength. Unfortunately, they soon saw that the horde had many other monsters that could replace the ones it lost. After a few seconds, it seemed as if Yasmine didn't kill any Canzers at all.
"Let the monsters witness your glory, Divine Apollo!" Sola raised her hands and pointed her palms at the horde. "Brightest Day!"
Two pillars of light beamed down from her hands towards the chaotic Canzers. Those hit by this light felt as if they looked at a thousand suns, leaving them blinded. The heat from this attack was so hot that their eyes melted to the back of their skulls and incinerated their meat down to the bones.
With those two pillars, Sola killed 12 Canzers easily.
Seeing the two women destroy those Canzers gave hope to them all. The Genesians and the Olympians settled their differences and started to bring down all of their powers towards the horde.
Beams of power, lightning, fire, wood, water, and all other kinds of elements rained down upon the horde, killing them layer by layer.
They didn't have to care about tactics or strategy, they simply unloaded all their LifeSkills into the Canzers indiscriminately. It was freeing for them, as this was the first time that they could really go all out without having to worry about planning their moves.
Soon, a cacophony of groans came out of the horde. Canzers were dying at a faster rate than what they could replenish. This prevented the horde from advancing towards the group, even pushing them back inch by inch.
"Don't worry guys! I'll handle the front."
While everyone was handling the horde from the back, Razer took it upon himself to handle the monsters coming from the Colosseum.
With just a simple command from his 'Word of the All-Father', the Canzers in the front all slowed to a crawl. This created a stampede behind, with Canzers getting killed and trampled by their own comrades.
Razer couldn't wait any longer and rushed to the front of the line. With a huge smile on his face, he raised his fist and brought it down towards the Canzer in front.
BOOOGHHH
The concrete below exploded, pushing tens of Canzers up in the air. But that wasn't the end. He readied both his fists and unloaded multiple fast jabs that created shockwaves that killed any Canzers unfortunate enough to be near him.
"HAHAHAHA! Witness how a Berserker goes berserk!"
Razer then looked back. "Aren't you going in on this? You're missing out on all the fun, porter!"
Atlan was the only one who stood still. He looked at the ground with an incredulous face.
